Patchwork chicks - wow!

So - as I said yesterday - today Wendy and I set off early to travel over to Barrowford ( a journey of around 3 hours each way) to attend a patchwork workshop.  Mad?  Yes probably!  But we had booked two of these - one at the beginning of August, which was cancelled, and one tonight and tomorrow.  We had agreed with the shop to "save" the cancelled workshop fees and "spend" them today when we came over - boy were we like kids in a sweet shop.  Its not real money if we have spent it already - is it?














We managed to find somewhere nice to stop off and have a coffee - closely followed by somewhere nice for lunch - before heading to the shop.



Afterwards it was straight to the hotel so that we could book in and get our bearings before finding somewhere for dinner.  We are attending a "trunk talk" this evening by Gail Pan - the Australian designer that I referred to yesterday  A "trunk talk" is where she brings samples of her work and talks about her sewing journey - should be fun!  And - with £40 left over from the fees - there will be more opportunity to spend money - go us!





Tomorrow we will be aiming to make this bag - wish us luck!
